I found myself at a loss for time as the calendar turned to 2013. After months of consistent blogging, my world had been flipped on its head in one afternoon.

 

As the site post thoughts climbed in numbers, so did my sorrows for not posting. Time and time again I sought for time to write. Writing was my fire but not my priority.

 

My faith and family come first, then my company. With great change happening around me, there was no time for anything besides my religion, family, and company. Each night I Had fall asleep writing and dreaming of a creative discharge.

 

After weeks of sorrow, I stumbled upon the awareness that there was only one place of my life I wasn't super productive at - sleeping. I've consistently been the type of individual who desired 9 hours of slumber minimum. I never realized until now that I was wrong. I was able to sleepjunkie less, do more, and feel more lively by embracing a biphasic sleep schedule.

 

Sleep Cycle - This is a program for the iPhone that monitors your sleep based on your own movement at night. The less you go, the more deeply you are sleeping. After months of using the app out of interest I discovered a routine.

 

The Numbers - Sleep Cycle reveals that in six to eight hours I average four heavy slumber intervals; in nine hours, I average five. Sadly, nine hours of sleep isn't quite productive.

 

 The Siesta method includes one rest of one core and 20 minutes sleep consisting of six hours. I average four heavy sleep cycles during six hours plus one deep slumber cycle for a total of five heavy sleep cycles per day.

 

The Toddler - I 'd to look no further to discover what a perfect Siesta schedule seemed like than to my own son. At Odds to my premises, the perfect time for your siesta isn't halfway between sleep and wake time but later in the day, between three and five hours before beginning your core sleep.

 

The Break In - I haven't been a biphasic sleeper since I was five. After 23 years, my body forgot what it was supposed to do. The first time I attempted biphasic slumber I felt fabulous. The next night was more uncool. This tendency continued until my mind was a fog and my eyes felt full of sand. But then the rest in was over, within two weeks my body adapted and settled in to its new cycle.

 

Productivity - Without a motive to create a new sleep routine, those who try biphasic sleep are usually failures. Finding something to fill the void is key. Fortunately for me, I have a site to keep and followers found time with.

 

I was convinced my body was rejecting the world around me. My body never felt at home and sleep was less than adequate. Biphasic slumber has been the key to an energized, rested, and more productive life.

 

What could you do with an extra hour and a half a day thanks to biphasic sleeping?
